Complexity Factors

Why do so many optimization efforts falter after a promising academic study or proof of concept? Their modeling and project plan are exposed as over-simplified when engaged with the messy reality of the business environment, systems and users.

Princeton Consultants has identified eight complexity factors that often impede the progress from proof of concept to successful usage in production.

The first four complexity factors can be thought of as external. The second four relate to how the optimization will be used by the organization.

Consider Princeton Consultants as “the glass is half full” types. We see complexities simply as barriers to jump over in order to succeed. After all, if it were easy, everyone else would have already done it.
